can you explain what do you mean by “filter on that field with the title”? Do you want to show the records where display name of the lookup matches the title of the page?
Where does the title come from? Is it hard-coded per page or comes from elsewhere like query string? If it’s built dynamically, how the pages (with different titles) are linked to – how the links are built?
Just trying to understand the bigger picture as there might be some better ways to achieve the result.
Thanks

Hi George-
Yes, I would like to filter on the title of the page. The title is coming from the WordPress admin > Pages. That title field at the top.
I’m attempting to do something similar to the Steak Knives sample site you sent to me — creating the product list like the sample code does it. But my only difference is filtering on the field in my views called “Sub-Subject” which would be the same as the title of the web page the user is looking at.
Unless you have a better thought on how to accomplish this?
I hope this makes sense.
Thank you.

Hi Joe,
I wouldn’t filter on the page title – too volatile. I would instead use parameter substitution in views and hard-code GUIDs of the lookups you’re filtering on (you are hardcoding the pages anyway).
For something like a product list I would consider building a single page, adding a dropdown with lookup values (e.g. categories) and then build view dynamically to filter on the selected lookup value. A bit more work but clean and easier to maintain.
Thanks
George
